Parents reflect on death of daughter
Antonella Goulding said: “What Lucy went through was absolutely horrendous and to imagine the pain she went through. It can’t happen to another child.”

“The coroner was fair with her verdict, there was nothing more she could have done.”
Mrs Goulding said she wanted to see the changes that were promised at Lucy’s inquest by Dr Tim Taylor, consultant paediatrician and chief of services for women and children at Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in action.
